THIS FINE MAN!!!

Let me tell you a story.

There was a man,

A fine one.

Scratch that,

A very fine man.

He wasn’t handsome according to your definition of handsomeness,

Neither had he six packs and abs,

Nor the 6ft plus,

Nor dark,

But what made him handsome was that he was mine.

Did you hear that,

He was mine.

I always felt elated ,

And showed him off to all,

Ok

So back to the matter

I’m sure you’re asking

How did he look?

He was just the height of ... himself lol

That should amount to 5.7

He wasn’t slim

Wasn’t fat either

Brown eyes

Shiny black and curly hair

He had to shave daily

Oh yes!

He had a carpet on his chest as well

Chocolate skin

Very neat man

They loved his swag just like that

Baba ‘fe the jester

That was what he was called

He always had an interesting topic

He talked a little too much

But it always ended with laughter

When the kids were young

They rarely saw him in the morning

He was a banker

He had to go to work

But they saw cookies when they woke up

And toffee

And chocolates especially those with hearts

Weekends was their special bonding moments

They always went out

Fast foods, beach, shopping

All the fun places for kids

Then when they got home

He told them stories

How the lion swallowed the tortoise

It was very bitter

So the lion vomited it but broke its shell

The tortoise had to see a good medicine man

To seal his back

But because Tortoise continued to annoy the man

He sealed it roughly

And they always laughed

And sang the song of the dog singing to his mother to let down the rope

When they got into secondary school

Things were quite different

He fought with his wife

All for money’s sake

She tried to shield the man at first so the kids won’t know

But the fights became pronounced

They saw it for themselves

He said he was building a house

His wife had to run the house

It went on

The first year

The second, third, fourth, fifth

Han han

When would it be ready?

Soon the money matter brought a lot of fight

Later,

A family friend told the wife he had been promoted

But he didn’t tell anyone at home

So she told the family friend

Who was amazed but promised to confront him

When he came home,

It was really noisy

After that,

He continued to give them some money

This was something

Once in a while

He visited them in school

And brought all the goodies they loved

When his first daughter

Had her first show of womanhood

He told his wife to buy a chicken from the market

Although he never gave her the complete money

And the fights continued

Sometimes he came home

Sometimes he travelled

His wife said it was because he had another woman

He said it was because he was promoted as an auditor

So he had to visit other branches

On his son’s birthday

He told them he would give them the money for the party

True to his word

He dropped some of the money for the celebration

That was about 40% of the money

His kids were happy he even dropped some of the money

As usual

His wife dropped most

And he invited his friends

So they could see how much he spent on the celebration

And that he was a good man

Who loved his family

He shouted out to his wife

‘’my dear, hope you bought the beer i told you to get’’

She shouted back

‘’i didn’t see the money, so i just bought two’’

He said ‘’that means you’ve mixed it up with the money for food’’

He told his friends ‘’that’s women for you’’

They all laughed

Then he sent a chap to bring them six crates of beer

The chap said they only had four

He told him to keep the change

His wife kept grumbling throughout the party

She said she was staying in the marriage because of the children and not for him


WATCH OUT FOR THE CONCLUDING PART
